Strategy
Adelbert Steiner is a nimble knight who turns your Equipment collection into raw power. The gameplan is straightforward: suit him up with affordable Equipment pieces, watch him grow larger with each attachment, and bash opponents down with a flying/double-strike/trample equipped commander. Lifelink makes the damage racing even better, since you're stabilizing life total while swinging in. This is a classic Equipment-focused voltron strategy that rewards you for building a modest arsenal of artifact gear.
The deck runs mana-efficient Equipment like Bonesplitter, Sword of the Animating Dust, and Mask of Memory to scale Adelbert quickly. You'll also include tutors (Enlightened Tutor, Steelshaper's Gift) to assemble your Equipment quickly and consistently. White's strengths in this deck are Equipment support cards like Stoneforge Mystic and Puresteel Paladin, plus efficient board wipes to protect your gameplan. Win by turning Adelbert into a 5+ power threat and swinging in for commander damage over a few turns.
